7-((Trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)methyl)-N-butyl-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-amine

General Procedure A:

[0098]

tert-Butyl trans-4-((5-bromo-2-(butylamino)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)methyl)cyclohexylcarbamate

[0099]

[0100]A 10 mL microwave tube was charged with 5-bromo-2-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (0.23 g, 1.0 mmol), tert-butyl trans-4-(iodomethyl)cyclohexylcarbamate (0.51 g, 1.5 mmol), K2CO3 (0.28 g, 2.0 mmol), DMSO (1.5 mL) and THF (3 mL). The mixture was heated at 150° C. for 100 min in microwave. After the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, n-butylamine (0.18 g, 2.5 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at 150° C. for 90 min in microwave. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude mixture was purified by Isco to provide tert-butyl trans-4-((5-bromo-2-(butylamino)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)methyl)cyc...

[0104]

[0105]To a suspension of 5-bromo-2-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (0.13 g, 0.50 mmol) and cis-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)cyclohexanol (0.23 g, 1.0 mmol) in toluene (8 mL) was added (cyanomethylene)trimethylphosphorane (CMMP; prepared according to Chem. Pharm. Bull. 2003, 51(4), 474-476.) (6.3 mL, 0.16 M in THF, 1.0 mmol). The resulting clear solution was refluxed for 16 h. The reaction mixture was washed with brine, and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified on ISCO to provide the desired product (0.16 g, 72%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.71 (s, 1H), 7.27 (s, 1H), 4.70 (tt, J=12.2, 3.9 Hz, 1H), 3.69 (tt, J=10.5, 4.2 Hz, 1H), 2.09-1.99 (m, 3H), 1.86-1.71 (m, 2H), 1.66-1.54 (m, 3H), 0.90 (s...

General Procedure C:

[0109]

N-Butyl-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-2-amine

[0110]

[0111]A suspension of 2-chloro-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine (0.62 g, 4 mmol) in 5 mL iPrOH was added nBuNH2 (2.5 mL, 25.3 mmol) and followed by HCl (2.0 mL, 4.0 M in dioxanes, 8 mmol). The resulting solution was heated at 170° C. for 1 h under microwave irradiation. The reaction was monitored by LC-MS. The reaction time should be extended whenever it is necessary. After evaporation of solvents, the crude product was washed with minimal amount of MeOH. The solid was collected. And the MeOH filtrate was purified by ISCO to provide the desired product (0.73 g, 96%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.42 (d, J=0.8 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (d, J=3.1 Hz, 1H), 6.27 (dd, J=3.0, 0.8 Hz, 1H), 3.37 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 1.68-1.57 (m, 2H), 1.52-1.36 (m, 2H), 0.97 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 3H); MS m / z 191.2 [M+H]+.

Abstract

The ectopic expression of Mer receptor tyrosine kinase (Mer) has been identified as a tumor cell survival gene product in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) cells and a potential cause of ALL chemoresistance. Hence, we investigated whether the development of small molecule Mer inhibitors was possible. A first aspect of the present invention is a compound (sometimes referred to as an “active compound” herein) of Formula I, IA, or IB.

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Applications Ser. Nos. 61 / 542,392, filed Oct. 3, 2011, and 61 / 547,183, filed Oct. 14, 2011, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.[0002]This application is related to PCT Application No. PCT / US2011 / 036215 filed May 12, 2011 (Attorney Docket No. 5470-549-WO).FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention concerns compounds, compositions and methods for the treatment of cancer.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children and common varieties are cured by chemotherapy in 75%-85% of the cases. Collectively the less common T cell and rare B cell subsets represent less than 2000 cases yearly and thus can be classified as a rare disease; these subsets have a poorer prognosis. Unfortunately with either subset, resistance to and relapse from therapy is a major cause of pediatric cancer death. In additio...
